Hello!

My mother has a vergissmeinnicht booklet.  It is very
much a German tradition.  When she vacationed in
Germany a number of years back she came back with a
booklet labelled:  "Vergissmeinnicht."  They still
print these booklets! She explained what it was and
gave it to me to carry on the tradition!  When I
decided to start a family tree, both my booklet and
hers came in quite handy.  (My mother entered more
names from her generation including her second cousins
and I entered my first, second and third cousins). 
Both of us will be adding the ancestors that I am
researching as names become available.

Until later,
Marlis
